The AI receptionist for foundation repair companies

Call the receptionist and hear it for yourself.
Ask it anything a customer would ask you.The calls a foundation repair company actually gets
Foundation calls start with a scared homeowner and a crack they just noticed. These are the ones that go to voicemail while you are under a house.
Stair-step cracks in the brick
A homeowner sees a crack running up the brick by the garage. The receptionist gets the address, where the crack is, how wide, and books an inspection.
Doors that won't close
"My bedroom doors stick and there's a gap over the kitchen cabinets." It notes the symptoms, the age of the house, and asks for photos before your visit.
Real estate deadline calls
A buyer's agent needs a repair quote before the inspection period ends Friday. It flags the deadline and texts you right away so you can call back.
Crawl space and sagging floors
A caller has soft, bouncy floors and a damp crawl space. It collects the details, asks about standing water, and books a crawl space inspection.
Why foundation repair companies put it on the phone
Answer while you're under the house
You can't take a call from a crawl space or while setting piers. The receptionist answers every call on the first ring instead.
Symptoms written down
Crack location, sticking doors, sloping floors, water and the age of the house come in a written summary before you drive out.
Inspections booked
Qualified callers get booked for an inspection on your calendar by your rules, with the address and photos attached.
Agents put through
Set rules so real estate agents and engineers on a deadline reach you directly while homeowners get booked for inspections.
English and Spanish
Callers get answered in English or Spanish, by call or text, 24/7, including the night a homeowner finally looks at that crack.
Same number
Your number gets ported in, so the number on your trucks, yard signs and Google listing keeps working.

Questions owners ask
Can it tell a homeowner if their foundation is failing?
No. It collects the symptoms, photos and address and books an inspection. The diagnosis stays with you and your inspector.
What does it ask on a new lead?
Whatever you set. Most foundation companies want crack location and size, doors or windows sticking, floor slope, water issues, the age of the house and any sale deadline.
Can it handle real estate transaction calls?
Yes. It asks about closing and inspection deadlines, and you can set rules to transfer agents or text you the urgent ones right away.
Does it answer after hours?
Yes. Calls and texts get answered 24/7 in English and Spanish, so a homeowner calling at 10 pm gets an inspection booked.
What does it cost?
The AI Receptionist is $297/mo, with the first 3 months at $97/mo. Month to month, no contract.
